Did you actually get good signal? Or just something decent enough to work with?

This happened to me today for the first time in downtown Chicago. I was 26 floors up on Michigan Ave in a sleek modern building of metal and glass, so basically inside of a giant antenna, stones throw from two radio stations and a TV station.

In my situation, the RF interference was actually slightly amusing. In all of my 15 years of AV experience, and countless wireless transmitters/receivers I never anticipated my first RF interference would occur in a wired system. I didn’t think to switch on the -db pad, and I don’t know if that would’ve helped, but I’ll consider it next time it happens.

Your initial post was a while ago, and I’ve learned today that Zoom has acknowledged the issue. No idea if any design updates have been implemented. Too late in both our cases.

I was able to mitigate it a little in post-production. The recorded radio sounds were extremely faint. Much more faint then they were when I was listening to them live through the headphones.

That said, I still plan to conduct continuity tests of all my XLR before I take any of it out in the field again.
